United Sates: Many gave lives for this country

Bill Wadley

I wonder how many will attach any significance to a day that changed the lives of countless, a day that gave the word "united" true meaning.

Now, as we struggle to find a compromise to keep our financial house in balance, I wonder if we will ever again be one for all!

Twelve million wore the uniform with pride, and untold millions worked tirelessly to produce the tools of war. How childish and complacent are we to find fault without solution in this land that so many gave their lives for!

Perhaps it's too much to ask, and 71 years is a long time, but whether you learned of it through history books or lived those days, I hope you will view Old Glory flying in the breeze and think of a day when we stood tall.

For those of us still around, the sights and sounds of Dec. 7, 1941, will be pristine. Let us pray for this great land. The way we were, the way we are, the way we shall always be - the United States of America!
